While final numbers won't be available for several days, reportsfrom state and local election officials indicate Republicans arehanging onto a slim registration lead over Democrats. As of late last week, Republicans were up nearly 23-hundred overDemocrats in several Nevada counties where most of the state'svoters live. Updated tonight to include latest figures from the LasVegas area, the state's biggest city, the margin is down slightlyto about 21-hundred.
